Radiation safety is a critical aspect for industries impacted by Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) and is integral to all the technical solutions offered by GeoEnergy Consult. We view radiation safety as a fundamental concern that underpins our approaches to various areas, including Class 7 Transport, Residues/Waste Management, Decontamination, Radioecological Assessment, Decommissioning of Facilities and Remediation of Sites.

At the core of our safety philosophy is the ALARA principle - "As Low As Reasonably Achievable". This proactive approach mandates that measures be taken to minimize radiation exposure to the lowest practical levels. 

(1) The first step in achieving this goal is thorough radiological characterization of relevant installations and material streams, which is performed at each stage of the technical process. With the use of advanced monitoring equipment, we can detect contamination and assess the type and concentration of radionuclides present.

(2) From the data gathered during this characterization process, we can calculate existing or potential radiation exposure levels. 

(3) Based on these results, specific radiation protection measures are developed. These measures can include strategies such as limiting exposure time, maintaining a safe distance from radioactive sources, and implementing safeguards against inhalation or ingestion of harmful substances.

Radiation safety is governed by strict regulations, and compliance with these standards is essential, particularly for occupational safety. Thus, regular safety assessments are performed to ensure that designs meet regulatory approval requirements and effectively ensure radiation safety. Furthermore, these assessments help to identify opportunities for optimization, allowing us to develop a radiation protection system that is entirely safe and tailored to each unique situation.
